If the service ID changes then the channel will be identified as new. The information you've provided has helped me to see that CableCARD could actually be handled differently because the source ID by itself is enough to identify a channel (ie. we could treat service ID changes for CableCARD as updates). Implementing that change is easier said than done though I'm afraid, but consider it to be on my TODO list. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
